Romance on the Sunshine Coast

Sometimes all you need is a romantic holiday somewhere beautiful to restore the mind and relieve stress. On the Sunshine Coast you’ll find the best of both worlds, with adrenaline-pumping activities and relaxing private beaches.

Here are House of Travel‘s top five tips for couples visiting the Sunshine Coast.

Rainbow Beach is pristine, secluded and breathtakingly beautiful.

A private boat ride allows plenty of time to stop and enjoy a romantic picnic.

Malue Os Eco Boat hire enables you to self-drive your own luxury electric boat along the Noosa River. Arrange drinks and a picnic and stop off at one of the gorgeous beaches for lunch and a swim. Or, simply cruise along the river listening to your favourite music through the boat’s onboard iPod dock.

3. Hike Mt Coolum
